Ralph, two things, and then you have the floor for as long as you wish to carry on.

1. I am offended by this ad. Someone emailed me the link and I couldn't believe it. Based mainly on your claims that I was vastly over-reaching on my suspicions about the company, I figured it warranted a follow-up post.

2. I think you've willfully misread me, which is your right. The only comments I delete from the blog are commercial spam. For the record, I have never accused anyone of racism (you're the only one to use that word); I have called a company's product bigoted, but have never said that of any particular "people." Finally, I want to clarify that the "pool of cultural bigotry" was intended to refer to Australian culture, not the company's. My sentence was unclear.

I know we have tried the patience of readers who've looked at the comments--my apologies. This is why politics and beer don't mix. I won't return to the subject.

I thought it was great! Of course, I work in the medical field and have seen plenty of X-rays with OBJECTS suck in peoples rectums.... and they all say they've SAT on the object! Yea right! How do you sit on a 14 inch English cumcumber??? ;-}
